Local knowledge across Northampton

Northampton is one of the largest towns in England, sitting on the River Nene with a population well over 200,000 spread across distinctive communities such as Abington, Kingsthorpe, Duston, Weston Favell, Far Cotton, Delapre, Wootton and Moulton. Care needs vary just as much across the town, from the terraced streets close to the Market Square, one of the biggest in the country, out to the newer estates on the edges around Grange Park and East Hunsbury. We tailor support to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service, whether that is near the town centre in NN1 or out towards Kingsthorpe in NN2, Weston Favell in NN3 or Far Cotton and Wootton in NN4 and NN5.

We regularly support people returning home after a stay at Northampton General Hospital on Cliftonville Road, part of Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust. The first weeks back at home matter, so we help with medication routines, mobility and rehabilitation support and stay in close contact with families and community teams. If a relative is being discharged from a ward there, we can put a package in place quickly so they are not managing alone.

Adult social care in the town is overseen by West Northamptonshire Council, the unitary authority that covers Northampton, Daventry and the surrounding area. If you think a relative may qualify for help with funding, you can ask the council for a free care needs assessment, followed by a financial assessment. Many families we work with self-fund their care, and we are always happy to explain how the different routes work. You can read more on our paying for care guide.
